Most Americans do not accept the theory of evolution. Instead, 51 percent of Americans say God created humans in their present form, and another three in 10 say that while humans evolved, God guided the process. Just 15 percent say humans evolved, and that God was not involved.

These views are similar to what they were in November 2004 shortly after the presidential election.

Oh, those evil liberals...

Americans most likely to believe in only evolution are liberals (36 percent), those who rarely or never attend religious services (25 percent), and those with a college degree or higher (24 percent).

Although I no longer pray to Jesus, I do pray to the universe for a day when critical thinking skills are unclouded by the religious rhetoric of snake oil salesmen peddling Jesus for dollars. I'm with John Lennon, paraphrasing here, "what Jesus said was all right, it's just the people who screwed it up."

Give science a chance, folks, and your faith will follow as guided by your own inner light!

51% of Americans can reject evolution theory all they want; it won't save their asses when the influenza virus evolves into a form that can trigger the next big pandemic, as doctors around the world are fearing right now.

I've gotta wonder if the US is about to suffer the same ideological stall in biology that the USSR suffered due to the aforementioned charlatan's ideas becoming state policy.
